The pile of dead coral in Sandy Cay may be an attempt to reverse the Philippines’ 2016 arbitral win in the West Philippine Sea, a senior official of the National Security Council said Monday.
The pile of dead coral in Sandy Cay may be an attempt to reverse the Philippines’ 2016 arbitral win in the West Philippine Sea , a ranking official of the National Security Council alleged Monday.“Kinalulungkot namin ang nangyari sa Pag-asa Cays 1,2, and 3…Lumalabas na ang daming crushed corals na galing kung saan ang itinambak doon,” NSC Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya told PTV’s Bagong Pilipinas Monday.
"The researchers also discovered "rubble piled on Pag-asa Cays 1, 2 and 3 that are now exposed even during high tide."“Lumalabas sa pagsusuri na this is man-made and talagang tinambakan ang existing live corals kaya nasira ang environment. At the beginning, our theory was para di mapakinabanagan ng ating mga fisherman…but apparently, mas malalim pala ang lumalabas dito…They want to change the geological feature…para magulo ang claim sa WPS,” he added.
